RT5924A
16-CH Constant Current Sink LED Driver
General Description
Features
The RT5924A is a constant current LED driver for LED
display applications. The driver integrates a 16-bit shift
register, a 16-bit latch, a constant current control block
and a inrush output current control block.

Pre-charge Function for Ghosting Eliminating
Low Gray Compensation
Constant Output Current Range :
3mA to 45mA @ VDD = 5V
3mA to 30mA @ VDD = 3.3V
Maximum Constant Current Output Voltage : 14V
Constant Output Current Accuracy :
Between Channels : <±
±1.5% (typ.); <±
±2.5% (max.)
Constant Output Current Accuracy :
Between ICs : <±
±2.5% (typ.); <±
±3% (max.)
Adjustable Output Current Through an External
Resistor
Fast Response of Output Current, OE (typ.) : 30ns
Maximum Data Transfer Frequency : 30MHz
Power Supply Voltage : 3.3V and 5V
RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
The 16-bit shift register can shift out input serial data to
SDO output pin with 30MHz maximum frequency. The
16-bit latch block can latch input data. As the LE pin is
high, the PWM data in the latch is changed. The constant
current control block ensures the differences of output
currents between channels and between ICs are smaller
than ±2.5% and ±3%, respectively. The output current value
is determined by an external resistor. The range of the
constant current output is 3mA to 45mA.

Operation
The RT5924A is a constant current LED driver for the LED
display applications. The driver integrates a 16-bit shift
register, a 16-bit data latch, a constant current control
circuit and an inrush output current control block.
The inrush output current control block is consisted of
delay circuits. The delay circuits can turn on the output
to reduce the inrush current as the OE pin is enabled.
16-bit Shift Register
Typical Operation
As shown in the Typical Application Circuit, the LED driver
IC RT5924A can be connected in series. The input control
signal : OE, LE, and CLK come from CPU. The serial
data can be transferred from the SDI pin to the SDO output
pin. Then, the output data of SDO pin sends the data to
next RT5924A SDI input pin to transfer data in series. The
serial data can be converted to parallel data to drive the
output port.
The 16-bit shift register has two functions. One is to shift
the input serial data to the SDO output pin. The other is
to save the serial signal to the parallel output signal to
drive the output channel.
Constant Current Control Circuit
The constant current control circuit can make sure the
accuracy between channels and between ICs. The output
current value is determined by an external resistor as
shown in below :
IOUT = 1.24 (1/ REXT ) 15
REXT = (1.24 / IOUT ) 15

Note 1. Stresses beyond those listed “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2. θJA is measured at TA = 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board per JEDEC 51-7. θJC is
measured at the exposed pad of the package.
Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.

RT5924A
Application Information
There are two types of application circuit for connecting
LED and the RT5924A are shown as follows. In traditional
connection type, use the same color and type for LED
connecting to RT5924A. Generally, the supply voltage is
fixed in this application. VLED must be higher than the
LED forward voltage and output voltage (VDS) of RT5924A.
When operating RGB LED display system, it is suggested
to use different supply voltages for different color LED sets.
This topology can reduce the output voltage of the LED
driver to improve the power efficiency.
Inadequate VDD can cause timing problems, and very noisy
LED supplies can affect LED current regulation. It is
recommended to place an additional electrolytic capacitor
CLED closed to LED for better output current regulation.

Constant Current
The RT5924A provides less current variations from channel
to channel and from IC to IC in LED display system. The
maximum constant current accuracy between channels
is less than ±2.5%, and is less than ±3% between ICs.
No matter the variations of LED forward voltages (Vf), the
output current can be kept constant.
VLED Operation Range
Due to the limitation of the package power dissipation, it
is suitable for the RT5924A to operate in the VDS range
from 0.8V to 2V. Higher VDS will cause more power
consumption and thermal.
In this case, it is suggested to reduce the supply voltage
level. Alternative method is to use a resister or a Zener
diode in series with the LED to reduce the voltage of VDS.
as shown in the following figures.

The power dissipation (PD) is different due to different

When 16 output channels are activated, the power
dissipation of IC is :
PD = (IDD x VDD) + (IOUT x Duty x VDS x 16).

IOUT = {[( TJ − TA)/Rth(J-A)] − (IDD x VDD)} / VDS / Duty / 16,
Where T J is the recommended operating junction
temperature (125°C) and TA is ambient temperature. When
ambient temperature increases, the allowed maximum
output current decreases.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum operation junction temperature. The maximum
power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of
IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow
and temperature difference between junction to ambient.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
following formula :
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 4 of derating
curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising
ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation
allowed.

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
The power dissipation should be less than the maximum
power dissipation. So the maximum output current can
be calculated by the following equation.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout dependent. For
SOP-24 (236mil) package, the thermal resistance θJA is
86.5°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal
test board. For SSOP-24 package, the thermal resistance
θJA is 108.2°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer
thermal test board. For WQFN-24L 4x4 package, the
thermal resistance θJA is 28°C/W on the standard JEDEC
51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following
formula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (86.5°C/W) = 1.15W for
SOP-24 (236mil) package

Layout Considerations
For best performance of RT5924A, please abide by the
following layout guide.
The capacitor CVDD and external resistor REXT must be
placed as close as possible to the VDD and R-EXT pins
of the device respectively.
The GND should be connected to a strong ground plane.
Do not use thin and long wires to present the parasitical
inductance from influencing the LED operation.
Keep the main current traces as possible as short and
wide
Place the capacitor CLED as close as possible to the
LED set for better current regulation.
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (108.2°C/W) = 0.92W for
SSOP-24 package
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (28°C/W) = 3.57W for
WQFN-24L 4x4 package
